English

Answer:

Portia and Other Female Characters

Explanation:

Portia is the main female protagonist of the play The Merchant of Venice. She is beautiful like Desdemona and Miranda; gracious and resilient like Cordelia and intelligent and quick-witted like Rosalind. Unlike Juliet, Portia is very tactful in choosing her husband.

Like Viola, Portia disguises herself as a man. She is even smart in assuming the role of an advocate's apprentice and helped save Antonio's life in court.

in argument and intelligence, Portia is better than Regan when she speaks in court. She discovers a technicality in the bond, thereby outwitting the Jewish moneylender Shylock and saving Antonio's life from the pound of flesh demanded.

Practice with plural nouns
lidiya [134]
Not sure exactly what you are asking.  However, <span>a plural noun is a word that indicates there is more than one person, animal place, thing, or idea. So when you talk about more than one of a person, animal, place, thing or idea (pretty much anything) then you are using plural nouns. When you write about more than one of anything, you basically use the same word and add an "s", "es", or "ies" to the end of the word.  Hope that answers what you are looking for.  </span>
